Circleville, 0., Oct. 29. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal: The duties of telegraphy have become to onerous with Mr. Nelse Mojer, operator at KiDgston, on tbe Scioto Valley rail, way, that he is compelled to get a (life) partner. To-day he interviewed our amiable Probate Judge and got a permit, and to-morrow the Rev. B., of this place, will proceed with Mr. Moyer to Lock-bourne, Ohio, and there and then, at the residence of Mr, C. M. Zink, Miss Flora Montgomery and Mr. NeUe Moyer will be united. Mr. Charles Wright, ol the firm of Harwell, Wright & Co., of this city, died thfc morning at 4:15. He leaves a wife and four children. Mr. Wright was a thorough good citizsn, well respected by all coming in contact with him whether in business or private relations. He will be buried with Masonic honors, on next Wednesday, October 31, at 2 p. m. Origin of Insurance Companies. Fire insurance companies were first contrived by the Roman Emperor, Claud-ias Cesar, A . D. 43. Insurance was in use in Italy in 1104, and in England in 1560. Insurance policies were first issued in Florence, Italy, in 1523. Insurance on houses and goods began in London in 1667, shortly after the great fire of 1666. A fire insurance office was then set up by a Dr. Barton, an eminent Bnd responsible builder and contractor of London. The first regular company established in London was the "Hand in Hand," 1696. The first instance of ship insurance of a certain record was in the year of Our Lord 45. If we may credit Suctoniaa life insurance of recent dates, and of still later origin are accidental insurance companies mainly gotten up, it would seem, to shatter the last vestige of nerves timid people have left, when they undertake ajourney.

A Bad State of Affairs-Trouble with the Indians Apprehended, Ban Francisco, Oct. 29 A Victoria dispatch says the steamship California, from Sitka, arrived this morning, The Revenue cutler Oliver Walcott arrived at Sitka on the 17th. The Chicimicut IndianB bad arrived a few days previous to participate iu a erand pow wow given by Sitka Jack and his tribe. The cutter arrived just in time to prevent the Indians from demolishing the barricade around tbe town. They had already commenced and had pulled down some 200 feet, being protected by swarthy armed warriors from any inter ference by the whites. The citizens think the timely arrival of the cutter was the means of preventing the Indians, during their drunken revelry, from murdering the whites. There is much alarm among the citizens. Nearly all of them are too poor to abandon what property they have and leave the country. Some of the storekeepers are making preparations to remove to Wrangle. Colonel Deahena, recently appointed Collector, has returned on the California, and, it is said, will not return to Sitka unless the Government furnishes the proper protection necessary for the safe prosecution of the business of the Customs department.The steamer California took up three guns for the Collector. The military department left thirty thousand pounds of powder in the magazine, which is considered safe from the Indians, while there is a cutter in tbe bay. In the Ilandsofa Becelver.

Proclamation by tbe President of he United States, Setting- Apart Thursday, November 89, as the Day to be Observed. Washington, Oct. 29. The following was issued tins aiternoon By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation : The completed circle of summer and winter, seed time and harvest, hss brought us to the accustomed season at which religious people celebrate with praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Almighty God. This devout and public confession or tue constant dependence of man npon the Divine Father for all the good gilts ol me and health, and peace and happiness, so early in our history made the habit of our people, finds, in the survey of past yearB, new grounds for its joyful and grateful manifestation in all the blessings whioh depend upon the benign ant seasons. This has, indeed, been a memorable year over the wide territory of our country, with all its diversity of soil and climate, and products. The earth has yielded a bountiful return to the labor of the husbandman ; the health of the people has been blighted by no prevalent or widespread diseases; no great disasters of shipwreck upon our coasts or to our commerce on the seas have brought loss and hardship to our merchants or mariners and clouded the happiness of the community with sympathetic Borrow. In all that concerns our strength and peace and greatness as a nation ; in all that touches the permanence and security of our Government and beneficent institu tions on which it rests; in all that affects the character and dispositions of our people and tents our capacity to enioy and up hold the equal and free condition of so ciety, now permanent and universal throughout the land, the experience of the last year is conspicuously marked by the protecting Providence of God, and is full of promise and hope for coming gen erations. Under a sense of the infinite obligations to tbe Great Ruler of times and seasons and events, let us humbly ascribe it to our own faults and frailties, if in any degree that perfect concord and happiness of faith and justice, which such great mercies should diffuse through the hearts and lives of our people, do not altogether and always and everywhere prevail; let us with one spirit and one voice lift up praise and thanksgiviug to God for his manifold gooduees to our land, Iiib manifest care for the Nation.

Lots on the spot, which are usually at much above the option price for the month, were offered to-day at $14.50 per barrel, against $14.75 for October.

THOMPSON'S, 40 North High St. SENATOR MORTON. Ills Condition Daily Growing Worse. The End of the Great Indiana States man liclievciTf o be Nenr at Hand. Indianapolis. Oct. 29.-11:30 p. si. In regard to Senator Morton's condition to-night, the truth is perhaps best told by tbe following, which will appear in the editorial columns of tbe Journal to-mor row morning : "Senator Mortou is gradually sinking, and it now seems scarcely possible that he can last more than a day or two. Hope strengthens the hearts of his friends for an hour or two each day, but when, on the return of night, they compare Ihb con dition with that of the day before, there is some new evidence of growing weakness, and new complications in bis dis ease, which leaves all in despair. 'JNotlung haa been read to him, nor any communication of news made to bim for the paat twenty four hours. His stomach retained a small portion of nourishment in the forenoon, but ejected everything given in the evening. He no longer takes an interest in what is going on around him, and only craves the presence of his own family, tie asked hisorotner-in-law (Colonel Holloway) yesterday if the physicians had given him up. He may last several days, but the chances are against his surviving through Wednesday night. "There were rumors of his death upon the streets all through the day, and a general feeling of gloom overshadowed the eity as the reports cf his condition were made known. While there has been little from which to take hope for several days, yet the people are reluctant to believe they are to lose Senator Morton. His physician, Dr. Thompson, stands by him night and day, and yet expresses a hope that Borne change may take place that will enable tbe stomach of hjs patient to retain nourishment, and with such change, he thinks he might yet survive. There is a bare possibility that such may be the result, but it is scarcely probable. The end of the great statesman, from all human appearances, is near at hand." CRIME AND CASUALTY. Escape ol' a Prisoner Sentouced to the Penitentiary. Pittsburg. Oct. 29. Reddy Waxter, a notorious character of the Tenth ward, and convicted of robbing railroad cars and shooting at the officer who arrested him, was sentenced to the penitentiary tor seven years.

Terrible Hurricane in Curacoa. Washington, Oct. 29. The hurricane which recently swept over the island of Curacoa caused a loss of property esti mated at two million dollars. The loss of life is large. In the city of Curacoa many of the most solid structures were crushed by the waves and many persons were buried in the ruins. The people were made paupers in an hour. The Palmer Honso Bobbery. Chicago. Oct. 29. The trunk which James Barry, the Palmer House robber, had in his possession when the Chicago detectives captured him last week, con tained, among other things, about &1UUU worth of jewels, which were recently stolen from George Ringgold, the New York actor. The woman who was Barry's accomplice cannot be found. t Death of a Policeman from Blows Becelved While Making an Arrest.Louisville, Oct. 29.

Ereninjj Post.l The contents of an Indian medicine-bag would make the heart of an ordinary herb doctor leap for joy. 1 once had an opportunity of examining several of them that had been cast aside by their owners. The bags were formed of the skins of various wild animals in an embryotic state, taken off whole, and so stuffed as to retain the natural shape. Each article of the large assortment they contained was carefully wrapped in a separate parcel by itself and duly labeled as to contents by means of certain hieroglyphics. TheBe paokages revealed a varied Btock of ingredients. There were dried herbs of many varieties, bark and leaves of strange plants and trees; many colored powders of the finest quality, and evidentlv demanding great care in their preparation ; claws of animals, talons of THURSDAY ?

Still, with this strange collection of remedies, the medicine-men effect some wonderful cures. Especially successful are they in the treatment of gunshot wounds ; and I have known some cases of recovery, under the skillful treatment of a conjuror, that seemed but little short of miraculous. A Very Strange Story. . Two singular incidents, which will furnish nuts to crack to believers in the supernatural, have recently come to light in England in regard to the recent lots of tbe Avalanche in the British channel. A lad who was a great friend of one of the apprentices who waa lost made arrangements to accompany him down (he channel and come ashore with the pilot, but at the last moment before sailing he was seizsd with such an indefinable and ungovernable misgiving that he declined to go, and thus escaped almost certain death. The apprentice who was lost had a retriever dog who was very fond of him, and which answered to a shrill dog-whistle which he carried. On the night of the shipwreck his mother and aunt were in the sitting room, and the dog in the kitchen. Between nine and ten o'clock the ladies were startled by hearing a shrill whiBtle up Btairs, in sound resembling that of the dog-whiBtle tiped by the young man. The dog heard it also, gave his usual recognizing bark, and bounded up stairs, where he supposed hia master was. The whistle was heard just about the time that the Avalanche went down, and it was heard by two credible witnesses, whose testimony was confirmed by the response made to it by the dog of the lost sailor.

Circleville, 0., Oct. 29. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal: The duties of telegraphy have become to onerous with Mr. Nelse Mojer, operator at KiDgston, on tbe Scioto Valley rail, way, that he is compelled to get a (life) partner. To-day he interviewed our amiable Probate Judge and got a permit, and to-morrow the Rev. B., of this place, will proceed with Mr. Moyer to Lock-bourne, Ohio, and there and then, at the residence of Mr, C. M. Zink, Miss Flora Montgomery and Mr. NeUe Moyer will be united. Mr. Charles Wright, ol the firm of Harwell, Wright & Co., of this city, died thfc morning at 4:15. He leaves a wife and four children. Mr. Wright was a thorough good citizsn, well respected by all coming in contact with him whether in business or private relations. He will be buried with Masonic honors, on next Wednesday, October 31, at 2 p. m. Origin of Insurance Companies. Fire insurance companies were first contrived by the Roman Emperor, Claud-ias Cesar, A . D. 43. Insurance was in use in Italy in 1104, and in England in 1560. Insurance policies were first issued in Florence, Italy, in 1523. Insurance on houses and goods began in London in 1667, shortly after the great fire of 1666. A fire insurance office was then set up by a Dr. Barton, an eminent Bnd responsible builder and contractor of London. The first regular company established in London was the "Hand in Hand," 1696. The first instance of ship insurance of a certain record was in the year of Our Lord 45. If we may credit Suctoniaa life insurance of recent dates, and of still later origin are accidental insurance companies mainly gotten up, it would seem, to shatter the last vestige of nerves timid people have left, when they undertake ajourney.

A Bad State of Affairs-Trouble with the Indians Apprehended, Ban Francisco, Oct. 29 A Victoria dispatch says the steamship California, from Sitka, arrived this morning, The Revenue cutler Oliver Walcott arrived at Sitka on the 17th. The Chicimicut IndianB bad arrived a few days previous to participate iu a erand pow wow given by Sitka Jack and his tribe. The cutter arrived just in time to prevent the Indians from demolishing the barricade around tbe town. They had already commenced and had pulled down some 200 feet, being protected by swarthy armed warriors from any inter ference by the whites. The citizens think the timely arrival of the cutter was the means of preventing the Indians, during their drunken revelry, from murdering the whites. There is much alarm among the citizens. Nearly all of them are too poor to abandon what property they have and leave the country. Some of the storekeepers are making preparations to remove to Wrangle. Colonel Deahena, recently appointed Collector, has returned on the California, and, it is said, will not return to Sitka unless the Government furnishes the proper protection necessary for the safe prosecution of the business of the Customs department.The steamer California took up three guns for the Collector. The military department left thirty thousand pounds of powder in the magazine, which is considered safe from the Indians, while there is a cutter in tbe bay. In the Ilandsofa Becelver.

Proclamation by tbe President of he United States, Setting- Apart Thursday, November 89, as the Day to be Observed. Washington, Oct. 29. The following was issued tins aiternoon By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation : The completed circle of summer and winter, seed time and harvest, hss brought us to the accustomed season at which religious people celebrate with praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Almighty God. This devout and public confession or tue constant dependence of man npon the Divine Father for all the good gilts ol me and health, and peace and happiness, so early in our history made the habit of our people, finds, in the survey of past yearB, new grounds for its joyful and grateful manifestation in all the blessings whioh depend upon the benign ant seasons. This has, indeed, been a memorable year over the wide territory of our country, with all its diversity of soil and climate, and products. The earth has yielded a bountiful return to the labor of the husbandman ; the health of the people has been blighted by no prevalent or widespread diseases; no great disasters of shipwreck upon our coasts or to our commerce on the seas have brought loss and hardship to our merchants or mariners and clouded the happiness of the community with sympathetic Borrow. In all that concerns our strength and peace and greatness as a nation ; in all that touches the permanence and security of our Government and beneficent institu tions on which it rests; in all that affects the character and dispositions of our people and tents our capacity to enioy and up hold the equal and free condition of so ciety, now permanent and universal throughout the land, the experience of the last year is conspicuously marked by the protecting Providence of God, and is full of promise and hope for coming gen erations. Under a sense of the infinite obligations to tbe Great Ruler of times and seasons and events, let us humbly ascribe it to our own faults and frailties, if in any degree that perfect concord and happiness of faith and justice, which such great mercies should diffuse through the hearts and lives of our people, do not altogether and always and everywhere prevail; let us with one spirit and one voice lift up praise and thanksgiviug to God for his manifold gooduees to our land, Iiib manifest care for the Nation. Now, therefore, I. Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States, do ap point Thursday, the 29th day of Novem ber next, as a day ot National thanksgiving and prayer, and I earnestly recommend that, withdrawing themselves from secular cares and labors, the people of the United States do meet together on that day in their respective places of wor ship, there to give thanks and praise to Almighty uod for his mercies, and to de voutly beseech their continuance. In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto Bet my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this 29th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eeventyseven, and of tbe independence of the United atates the one hundred and second R Tt.

Lots on the spot, which are usually at much above the option price for the month, were offered to-day at $14.50 per barrel, against $14.75 for October.

THOMPSON'S, 40 North High St. SENATOR MORTON. Ills Condition Daily Growing Worse. The End of the Great Indiana States man liclievciTf o be Nenr at Hand. Indianapolis. Oct. 29.-11:30 p. si. In regard to Senator Morton's condition to-night, the truth is perhaps best told by tbe following, which will appear in the editorial columns of tbe Journal to-mor row morning : "Senator Mortou is gradually sinking, and it now seems scarcely possible that he can last more than a day or two. Hope strengthens the hearts of his friends for an hour or two each day, but when, on the return of night, they compare Ihb con dition with that of the day before, there is some new evidence of growing weakness, and new complications in bis dis ease, which leaves all in despair. 'JNotlung haa been read to him, nor any communication of news made to bim for the paat twenty four hours. His stomach retained a small portion of nourishment in the forenoon, but ejected everything given in the evening. He no longer takes an interest in what is going on around him, and only craves the presence of his own family, tie asked hisorotner-in-law (Colonel Holloway) yesterday if the physicians had given him up. He may last several days, but the chances are against his surviving through Wednesday night. "There were rumors of his death upon the streets all through the day, and a general feeling of gloom overshadowed the eity as the reports cf his condition were made known. While there has been little from which to take hope for several days, yet the people are reluctant to believe they are to lose Senator Morton. His physician, Dr. Thompson, stands by him night and day, and yet expresses a hope that Borne change may take place that will enable tbe stomach of hjs patient to retain nourishment, and with such change, he thinks he might yet survive. There is a bare possibility that such may be the result, but it is scarcely probable. The end of the great statesman, from all human appearances, is near at hand." CRIME AND CASUALTY.

Still, with this strange collection of remedies, the medicine-men effect some wonderful cures. Especially successful are they in the treatment of gunshot wounds ; and I have known some cases of recovery, under the skillful treatment of a conjuror, that seemed but little short of miraculous. A Very Strange Story. . Two singular incidents, which will furnish nuts to crack to believers in the supernatural, have recently come to light in England in regard to the recent lots of tbe Avalanche in the British channel. A lad who was a great friend of one of the apprentices who waa lost made arrangements to accompany him down (he channel and come ashore with the pilot, but at the last moment before sailing he was seizsd with such an indefinable and ungovernable misgiving that he declined to go, and thus escaped almost certain death. The apprentice who was lost had a retriever dog who was very fond of him, and which answered to a shrill dog-whistle which he carried. On the night of the shipwreck his mother and aunt were in the sitting room, and the dog in the kitchen. Between nine and ten o'clock the ladies were startled by hearing a shrill whiBtle up Btairs, in sound resembling that of the dog-whiBtle tiped by the young man. The dog heard it also, gave his usual recognizing bark, and bounded up stairs, where he supposed hia master was. The whistle was heard just about the time that the Avalanche went down, and it was heard by two credible witnesses, whose testimony was confirmed by the response made to it by the dog of the lost sailor.
